A California woman has been left devastated after a tragic incident reportedly took her dog’s life.
Naria Harutjunjan has her finger pointed at UPS after her dog died in an incident she says was caused by a delivery driver for the company. During a recent interview with KCAL News, the North Hills resident claimed her pooch Lulu passed away last Wednesday after a UPS driver approached her home and threw a 55 pound package over her gate. Sadly, she says, it landed on her dog. The devastated pet owner told the outlet:
“I took the package. I saw my dog was … she couldn’t move anymore. My neighbors were there. They helped me with the dog to bring her to the Mission Hills clinic. But they said she passed away.”
How tragic.
Security footage from Naria’s neighbor does show the UPS employee approaching her home and throwing the package over the gate, just as she described. Her own Ring camera also recorded footage of the driver looking at the gate before driving away.
Reflecting on how dangerous the situation was, Naria told the news station:
“He could kill me, he could kill any baby playing here, or anybody else.”
She added through tears:
“Yesterday when I [wanted] to let her out, I took her and I said, ‘I don’t know Lulu, why but I love you so much.’ And it was my last time.”
Naria had just adopted the dog last year. So incredibly tragic.
If this is true, she’s absolutely right. Tossing such a heavy package over a fence is incredibly dangerous! In the wake of her story, UPS has announced they’re launching an investigation into the situation:
“We recently learned of the situation in North Hills. We are certainly concerned and will contact the customer. We will investigate and take appropriate action.”
Naria has reportedly been in contact with an attorney and is considering taking legal action against UPS, the driver, and Amazon, as she ordered the package from there. More details (below):
So very sad.
